In the coming months, you might be able to acquire a number of nice things that you don't need but have long wanted. If you can honestly afford them, you don't have to feel guilty for spoiling yourself a little.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Our close friends often have a strong influence on us, and you're no different. If your companions have poor judgment, you're likely to follow them down a blind alley.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Disappointment is likely if you expect your co-workers to do certain jobs, duties or responsibilities that were assigned to you. Either be self-reliant or offer to do something for them in return.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're still not out of the woods when it comes to a financial obligation, so continue to be prudent in the management of your resources. Don't take the approach of solvency as a sign to spend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Wanting to be your own person is credible, provided you're not overly insistent. Don't make everyone else miserable by only having it your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because you've based your evaluations on logical assumptions, your conclusions have been pretty accurate so far. Don't start to rely upon instincts or emotions that could be misleading.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There's no accounting for the surprises of kindness, but it isn't likely that you'll get something from someone whom you've refused to help in the past.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make a good impression on another if you act natural and be yourself. Conversely, if you attempt to convey an image that is false, you'll get bad reviews.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It won't be enough to just feel compassion if a friend comes to you for help. You need to help in ways that put substance behind your sentiments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When with a group of friends, don't think they won't pick up on your longings to be elsewhere if you can't simply enjoy the moment. Either relax or leave.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Do not allow yourself to be put in a position where someone else is making decisions for you. You need to be your own boss for a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though your restlessness could be rather severe, don't ignore your work or responsibilities. There will be ugly consequences.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although your heart might be in the right place, you might, in actuality, be too wasteful and ineffective to utilize your resources smartly.
